AIM To determine if manipulation of dietary advanced glycation end product (AGE), intake affects non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression and whether these effects are mediated via RAGE. METHODS Male C57Bl6 mice were fed a high fat, high fructose, high cholesterol (HFHC) diet for 33 wk and compared with animals on normal chow. A third group were given a HFHC diet that was high in...

The health benefits associated with the consumption of polyphenol-rich foods have been studied in depth, however, the full mechanism of action remains unknown. One of the proposed mechanisms is through microbiota interaction. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between changes in fecal microbiota and changes in urinary phenolic metabolites after wine interventions. Nine p...

The purpose of this study was to examine whether n-3 PUFA intake affects n-3 and n-6 FA levels in plasma and red blood cells as well as omega-3 index in old male and female spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and healthy rats. Plasma linoleic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid increased due to n-3 PUFA intake in SHR and healthy rats. Comparing to healthy rats the levels of PUFA in red blood cells of S...

Four selected azo dyes (acid orange 6, acid orange 7, methyl orange and methyl red) were completely decolourised in the presence of anaerobic granular sludge, while only methyl red was degraded in aerobic conditions using a conventional activated sludge. Additional experiments with culture broth devoid of cells showed that anaerobic decolourisation of azo dyes was performed by extracellular red...

industrial wastewater included the dyes one of the important sources of environmental pollution that founded in loom wastewater which are harmful for human health and environment. therefore, the purpose of this research was investigated removal of rb5 dye from aqueous solution by using of adsorption onto activated red mud as an cheap adsorbent. this research was experimental- laboratorial study...

BACKGROUND Hyperhomocysteinaemia is highly prevalent among haemodialysis patients and may contribute to their increased cardiovascular risk. Treatment with pharmacological doses of folic acid lowers the plasma homocysteine concentration in these patients. The purpose of the present study was to expand the knowledge about such treatment by testing the effects of stepwise increases in the dose of...

Effects of cold acclimation and cold exposure for 25 generations on triglyceride (TG)-, total phospholipid (PL)-, and cardiolipin (CL)-fatty acid (FA) compositions were studied in the different types of skeletal muscles (red and white muscles from quadriceps, and soleus) as well as brown adipose tissue (BAT) in rats. TG: in cold-acclimated rats (CA) and rats reared in cold for 25 generations (2...

A series of monoazo disperse dyes based on naphthalimide was synthesized using N-alkylcarboxylic acid-1,8-naphthalimide as diazo component and N,N-diethylaniline derivatives as a coupling components. 4-amino-N-ethanoic (propanoic) acid-1,8-naphthalimide was synthesized from 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride by imidation and subsequent reduction reactions. These compounds were diazotized and furt...

A series of sorbents containing various amounts of borate groups were prepared by chemical immobilization ofP-aminoethylphenylboric acid on a copolymer- treated organosilane spacer glass plates. It was found thatbaker's yeast cells selectively adhered to these supports. Yeast cells stained with procion red HE-3B formeddenser and more stable layer on the copolymer-grafted supports compared onto ...

We describe an improved Taylor dispersion method for four-component systems, which we apply to measure the main- and cross-diffusion coefficients in an Aerosol OT water-in-oil microemulsion loaded with one of the reactants of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, water(1)/AOT(2)/R(3)/octane(4) system, where R is malonic acid or ferroin. With [H(2)O]/[AOT] = 11.8 and volume droplet fraction ph...
